Yeah, So, the News

[forsyth]

Lately, when I read the news, and think about the lunatics who're in charge right now, I get this sinking feeling. The kind where I think the general state of the world we've all taken for granted is fairly likely to not continue into the future.

Especially if the idiots start a war with Iran.

The "general state of the world we have all taken for granted" is a lie anyway. America is doing an excellent job of being the world's Supervillain. We do the lie/cheat/steal/kill/repeat schtick better than anybody else, because we're a nation of assholes.

I think a war involving Iran is a foregone conclusion. But so is a war between Taiwan and Mainland China, a war on the Korean peninsula, and a war in South America involving Venezuela. The only real question is which one happens first. Once one gets going, the rest will follow as a domino effect, because the aggressors will feel they have nothing to lose and America will be too busy to stop anybody.
